Hello Father,

   Thats cool you get to spend some time with Amy and company. I am pretty jealous of that not going to lie. So my two companions are from Pennsylvania and Mesa. Yes, Elder Monsen went to Mountain View but not the same Junior High. Pretty cool. I told you that I ran into Elder Walz a few weeks ago right? Its pretty cool to see him here again. I hope to serve around him sometime in the future. Us companions are getting along pretty good. And since there are three of us I have been going on splits a few days with like a priest or someone else. It is pretty good experience.

   Other than that there is not much new. One of our investigators finally has a baptismal date. His only problem is chewing, but we are going to work with him on that. Not much else so I will wrap it up until the next time which may be a letter.

Love You!
Elder Connell

{Letter in the mail}
Dear Family,
   As you may already know, a lot has happened since the last time I wrote you all a formal letter. To start, I would like to explain what is going on with the area.
   A week ago we were supposed to have a split in the area with a set of Elders in each stake. That did happen, but it only lasted a few days. One of the missionaries in the Plain City Stake went home early because of stress and health issues. It was an honorable release. But since then, i have been in a trio with Elder's Carron and Monsen, no relation {haha, he keeps saying that! I find that quite funny.-Brit}. We also have both stakes again and we moved to a bigger apartment that can hold all three of us. The address is 4475 W 2425 N., Plain City, UT 84404. So let everybody know.
   We still have all the same investigators as we did before. Honestly, this transfer, I think we can baptize a lot of them. Some in particular would be Tyson, Nate, Shawn, and Karren. All are very close, we just have to work with them a bit and sort out all of the kinks.
   I actually had a very neat experience a few weeks ago with Cassandra, if you remember her. So we were teaching her the Plan of Salvation and it was going very well. When we got to the end, she asked an important question: "What happens to little babies when they die?" It is a pretty simple answer for us, but so profound for anyone else. That is the cool thing about the gospel. It all makes perfect sense and it is the coolest thing to watch people realize that for themselves. Cassandra was very touched by the answer and I could tell that she knew it was true. It has been amazing to see her progress to this point. It is truly a testimony builder.
   There is one thing that I learned from another missionary that I found very cool and eye opening. There are pretty much two different ways to have a testimony. When you believe in the Gospel, or when you believe the Gospel. Which is yours? What does it mean to believe the Gospel versus believing in the Gospel? It is just something to think about. He shared a lot more, but it would take forever to write it all down.
   So that is pretty much the update of what's going on. I am still learning lots as a missionary and enjoying every minute of it. Thank you all for the love and support you all give.

   See you on the other side!

   Love,
      Elder Connell

In the letter he didn't say the answer to the girls question. If you would like to know more about this, and find out the answer to the question, click HERE, or HERE.

Here's my little blurb about it:
What we believe in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is that those under the age of accountability (8) do not need to repent. You are born into this world clean and pure, and quite innocent. Therefore, you don't need baptism until you reach the age of 8. If they pass before that age of accountability, hey will receive eternal glory with their Heavenly Father.
